Changes v Richmond R5

Very possible.

Hibberd ran the game out and had plenty of the ball and used it pretty well.

Pedo rucked most of the day and got 32 possies as well.

Probably one of the more interesting debuts for mine..Hibberd.

our backline needs a bit of his no-nonsense I-know-what-I'm -doing  sort of devil may care.

Over the years weve had some good intercept players who could read the ball really well  and cut off many an attack. More recent  being Clint Bizell and Jared Rivers.  I see a bit of these in Hibberd though I think Hibberd may have the most effective kick  out of those three.

I think his inclusion will rewire the dynamics of our backline....in a good way

Bugg was my initial thought too, but, physically, I can't see him competently being able to compete with Martin. 

A player like Dusty... there just isn't anyone that leaps to mind. And that's league wide.

I like to think opposition fans have the same worry when it comes to Hogan.

To my way of thinking, in line with His policy, will try them out this year and stuff the finals. Could see it after R3....i think

Oscar and JKH will play i reckon along with Hogan.. i dont expect to see Pedo in the team..

I tipped JKH to come back in just purely on gut feel, O. McDonald would be a very strange inclusion.

Would my Fox bill be less if i had the sound turned off during AFL Games?

FWIW, when Harmes plays out of the defensive 50, I see him as one of our biggest liabilities. If he's to say in the side, I'd much rather him remain a forward. 

Not too sure about Hannan - even in the VFL he played as a forward, didn't he? I'm not suggesting it's pointless, I just don't know enough about Hannan to make an informed decision. 

Sorry. Bad syntax on my part. I meant that Hannan could be omitted or Harmes could go to the backline. I wasn't thinking of Hannan to the backline, although upon re-reading my post I can understand why you thought so.

You have been known to be spot on with most things before it comes out in the media.

Oh god I hope not. Frost has some weapons, but smarts isn't one of them. Dusty will kick 6 if he gets him. I can't think of one guy that can go with him one on one. Whatever double team he gets, Vince should be one of them. High footy IQ required.

Bugg & Harmes sharing the role.... might keep him to 2 or 3 goals

I hope we are putting a bit of time into dusty I would be telling the players if your going to try tackling him put your head down and go as low as you can that way if he tries his famous fend off good chance he will get you high and you could draw a free kick, im surprised players don't do this against him he is a bull and almost impossible to tackle 


The Oscar, Frost and Tommy Mc backline worked pretty well at times last year. Means we actually get good aerial coverage and allows Frost and Oscar to position in to spots that used their strengths. 

Frost plays as the full back sweeper and can run his way out of trouble. Oscar gets involved in more marking contests where he isn't directly responsible for a key forward and can intercept and then use his kicking skills which are mostly decent after intercepting. He kicks nicely after a mark. Disposes poorly when on the run. 

That said.. I'd imagine Hibberd is priority 1 for the backline. So unless he isn't right I wouldn't bring in Oscar. And Harmes would be my next choice to replace Melksham as well.

JKH. I think Goody likes him and he had a big summer. Can be a strange decision maker but is another who can kick the ball pretty nicely when in time and space. I wouldn't be at all disappointed in him having a run in ANB's high half forward role. I still have belief he can be a long term player in that role.

We always beat Richmond.

I'd like Bugg out and Pedobear in.

Give Watts a day off the ruck and attack through him.

He tends to kick a few against the tigers as well.

Martin won't kick goals if the ball doesn't go down there. Beat them in the middle and we win the game.

Just on 7 news.

Martin with a groin injury concern. should get up but wont be 100% fit.

Hibberd right in the frame to get selected on Monday.

HIs girlfriend would be worried.

Also Petracca mentioned on Triple M before that Weideman had a big swelling on his corked thigh. Will run tomorrow.

Perhaps only about her next tattoo or piercing. She will be on half a million a year anyway.

Melbourne is probably Martin's poorest performing team against. What have we done in the past?


Richmond are in great form. Melbourne is not. We have players out of form and an unsettled lineup.  Unless something changes our defence is going to be under serious pressure. Martin and Riewoldt could cause some serious damage. Usually optimistic playing the tigers but not looking forward to this one. Could get ugly.

Richmond is [censored].  They have beaten rubbish teams in Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane and West Coast on a wet day in Melb.  Dees are not in bad form, they just had a bad qtr against Freo.  We were by far the better side against Geelong and had Gawn not gone down we win. 

The Hulk comes in and we win!!!

Agree with much except our chances.

Interesting game ahead.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
